Lunchtime Deal: BlackBerry PlayBook 64GB For $199

There are a bevy of cheap tablets flooding the market these days, and most of them are rubbish. What you really want is a tablet bargain. Here's one we prepared earlier.

Mobicity currently has a sweet deal on the BlackBerry PlayBook (64GB). You can pick it up for $199 right now. That's a crazy saving of $600 on the original retail price. The only catch, though, is that it's a group deal. You'll need to go in with a few people to get the special. [Mobicity via OzBargain]

I won one of these, and I really, really wanted to use it. But I just couldn't find a great use for it, other that random browsing...
As a side not, the only other people I met who had one, also won it.

How would the addition of more apps and 3G change that? Mine is locked away in an airtight container until I need it but I'm pretty sure that if it was an iPad or any other tablet it would be doing exactly the same thing.

my wife got one for free from her boss. Gave it to our 8yo daughter. she has used it about 10 times. It was looking promising when people were trying to put android on it, but that plan is dead in the water. So it just sits here :(

Consider the humble light globe. It hides in your ceiling, turning electricity into light, but little do you know how inefficiently it's doing that. Halogen light bulbs aren't great, but traditional incandescents are downright terrible. Ikea says that the average Aussie household could save nearly $150 a year by switching its lighting to LEDs.
